v · railway line in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota on the BNSF Railway's Northern Transcon which runs from Chicago, Illinois to Seattle, Washington. This is former Great Northern Railway trackage, and now forms the southern set of BNSF tracks running between the two cities. The companion route running slightly to the north is the St. Paul Subdivision, former Northern Pacific Railway tracks. The Midway Subdivision hosted about 23 trains per day as of April 2009.[1]

This line includes access to two intermodal container facilities, one operated by Triple Crown Services, and the other at BNSF's Midway Yard.[2] The Minnesota Commercial Railway has multiple connections to this line, and Amtrak's Midway station is on Minnesota Commercial tracks just to the south of the Midway Yard.

In the west, the Midway Subdivision carries the Northstar Line commuter rail service as it exits the Wayzata Subdivision where Target Field station is located. The Wayzata Sub meets the Midway Subdivision at Minneapolis Junction, where the Milwaukee Road 261 steam locomotive is housed. The Northstar Line does not have any stops on the Midway Subdivision, but continues north through Northtown Yard and has its first stop at Fridley at the southern/eastern end of the Staples Subdivision.
